-'''Summon Greater Demon''' is a level 7 [[Summonings]] spell which calls a single [[greater demon]] (i.e. tier [[1]] or [[2]]) into existence. Note that spell power only affects the demon's chance to be hostile and its duration: there is a fixed 40% chance to summon a tier-1 demon and improved spell power does not make it more more likely.

-This spell carries some inherent risks worth being aware of. The demons summoned may arrive hostile, in which case a few shots of [[Abjuration]] will come in handy. Even if they do arrive friendly, however, Tier 1 demons will only arrive [[charm]]ed, meaning they ''will'' turn on you eventually (higher spellpower will extend this duration, as well as duration of the demon itself). Also, be aware that your demons will use [[hellfire]] (but not [[torment]]) without regard for your safety. In the end, however, having a [[Brimstone fiend]] or [[balrug]] on your side will greatly increase anyone's offensive capabilities. Tier 2 demons never turn hostile.

Even if they do arrive friendly, however, Tier 1 demons will only arrive [[charm]]ed, with the duration of the charm set such that they ''will'' turn on you before they disappear (higher spellpower will extend this duration, as well as duration of the demon itself).

 Try [[Haunt]] if you want a safer option of the same level.
